Has anyone run into this issue before?

I have couple tangs, yellow wrasses that eat around my live rock and frags but never seen them eat zoas. I've noticed my Blue Chromis eating my Zoas on my frag rack. Any input?
 
That would be odd.

Other damsels will pick at pests on corals, but chromis are plankton eaters.

Zoas are famous for pests, so maybe the chromis are picking at bugs?
 
Thats what i thought too. I've definitely caught him in eating couple zoas frags. I've been trying to catch him but he's too small and fast.
